Avatar is a visual feast for the eyes unlike anything you have seen before. There is no doubting that. But this is far from a perfect film and it boils down to the story that's being told. Watching Avatar, the first thing that dawned on me is how closely it follows Dances With Wolves. I have no idea if this was intentional or not, but it's unmistakable. There are other films and plots that I easily recognize but I'm not going to dwell on that. The other thing that kind of bugged me were the characters and of course the run time of the movie itself. It was way too long. Had it been shorter, we would have gotten to the confrontation a lot sooner. Having said that, the second half of the movie picked up a great deal and was for me the most exciting thing to watch. It was the lead-in that was kind of dragging it downward and as I said before, the characters themselves weren't compelling enough to want to watch the Navi train Jake.
But by the time we get to the conflict and all the carnage that follows, suddenly I felt for those 2 characters as well as their race as a whole. I wouldn't say this is a Buy, even though I'll probably end up getting the Special Edition. So for now, this is a Rent.
